My point wasnt about success or failure. My point was it took Sony almost 4 years to start making new IP that could realistically take over the Playstation mascot mindshare. 

Four years is nothing in game development time.  I just don't see how the volume of new IP from each is comparable.

You're right. Microsoft actually *tried* to make a lot of new IP. It just failed miserably. I actually think Microsoft was more admirable in the beginning than Sony. They really tried to make Quantum Break, Cuphead, Ori, Scalebound, and Recore as facets of Microsoft. Not just small third part acquisitions, but actual big exclusives to sell the system. They failed...miserably. Quantum did terrible, Scalebound was cancelled, Cuphead delayed, and Recore had little polish and bad sales. And then... tbey announced all xb1 exclusives would come to PC. Keep in mind, all these games were slated or rumored for a 2016 release. It would have been a great year had these games been good, not cancelles, or not delayed. Of course, Sony jad third party exclusives too but I felt at that time that they were few and far between, and it seemed like they were just supplements for a lack of content. Bloodborne was the only one that sold consoles. 

 

It's kind of sad really. Its almost admirable how much Microsoft took fun weird quirky original games amd tried to make them into Xboxs next Halos. But its their own fault it didnt work out. I had a lot of hope in late 2015. I think Sony just slacked way too mich up until this year. Both did.

 

This was my first new console generation in my lifetime and it was horrible. Now at least Sony and Ni tendo are kicking ass

Whats the problem? Its on PC? Or you want it on your PS4?

If you want the game get it on your PC. Or else just wait for the PS4 version.



Pocky Lover Boy!

Timed exclusive deals like this are the worst, most anti consumer thing in the industry. They're now even trying to extend their shitty deal.

You're saying things like this about Microsoft, in the defense of Sony?



                            

same with SONY AND STREETFIGHTER!

im a hardcore sf fan and played every one since its first release of sf 2. But i can never play anymore cu its only on PS4.

is that sony's fault or microsoft? did microsoft say no we dont want it?



So about Microsoft's first party problems, it's because the Xbox business is a division under Microsoft as opposed to a subsidiary with Microsoft as the parent company. The nature of it being a division limits its flexibility on what it can do.

Don't worry, you didn't miss out on much.



So much trolling... so sad !

i have to wait 1 month more for the call of duty ww2 mappack why sony can not allow to play content at the same time for all players?



Well... if i had a choice, i'd take Microsoft out and bring back old SEGA. But i guess just having two is fine aswell.

I agree, MS has been a disappointment. The OG Xbox bridged PC and console gaming, the 360 bridged that gap and delved into JRPG funding original projects... but then... they scaled back (oh the pun) and they are still scaling back.

Not that this exclusive matters for anything. Can't compare to the plethora of PS4 exclusives, but just because now they are only adding negatives to the industry rather than any positives.

Don't tell them that. It doesn't fit the narrative.

We know that, everybody knows that, why do we get so hung up on that? Both companies do this pactice and even worse when it's time exclusive DLC (imo) but you can't just dismiss it by saying "they do it too." This is just more disheartening when you know that MS is doing the bare, BARE minimum to expand their first party line-up but *are perfectly content to throw money to hold off a game from the competition. *(edit)

Although Turkish made it sounds kinda one-sided, this issue is present on both companies but MS is hit harded by it from what I mentioned above.

The difference is Sony does have plenty and very successful first and second party titles. Exactly what Turkish was hinting at and which makes it so sad and disturbing MS has to fall back to those measures.
